Architect Jeremy Jih set out to design a ski house that brought the outside in, without the cold. His modern glass-walled chalet in Stowe, Vermont, offers a cinematic view of the slopes and creates an open and unfussy space that still feels cozy.
Any place with a warm fire is a welcome respite after a day on the slopes. But for those with modern taste, the typical ski house — with its chunky lines and a lot of dark wood — can feel closed-in.
The 5,000 square-foot, five-bedroom ski home is owned by Jih's partner Jeff Merselis, a health care executive based in Boston."A lot of traditional ski houses are log-cabin-like with lots of dark wood and heavy, big furniture," says Merselis."I wanted something much more light. There is nothing inside the house that competes with the amazing views outside." The vaulted wood-paneled ceiling and the polished black cement floor help frame the view.
